Inside the Boot Business with President of Rod Patrick Bootmakers, Bobby Smith (EP 99)

This week on Tom McCutcheon’s The Show, we’re joined by long-time friend, business partner, and the man behind the best boots in the game—Bobby Smith, President of Rod Patrick Bootmakers at Miller International.

Bobby’s been around the western world for a long time, and in this episode, we get into all of it—from how he realized accounting wasn’t for him to finding his true passion in the boot business. And let’s just say… there’s a lot of ground to cover.

He’s spent over four and a half years of his life at the All American Quarter Horse Congress, so yes, he’s got the stories—and he tells them well. But it’s not just about the past. Bobby shares real, smart insight into building strong business relationships, staying adaptable, and why strategy and customer service matters so much in this industry.

We loved having Bobby on for Episode 99 and can’t thank him enough—not just for the boots, but for helping us build lasting connections with some of our favorite brands like CINCH and Rod Patrick.

It’s honest, insightful, and packed with great conversation. You won’t want to miss it.
